Canonical will design and deploy OpenStack on your premises

Building and running an OpenStack cloud requires specialised expertise and low-level Linux OS knowledge. Canonical brings the full stack — from kernel to containers to applications - along with operating experience from hundreds of OpenStack deployments around the world to get you started efficiently.

Once you are certain OpenStack is the right choice we can deliver your cloud in two weeks. Only then do you need to commit the devops talent required to run your cloud, or outsource that to Canonical as well.

From zero to private cloud — OpenStack delivery on rails

With many years experience deploying, supporting, running and upgrading OpenStack clouds, Canonical offers a unique fixed-price private cloud delivery service with a proven reference architecture, called Foundation Cloud Build.

Working with Canonical

If you have complex requirements, Canonical structures the engagement as a series of iterations, starting with proven and well-understood components and architecture. The goal is rapid engagement with other parts of your business that you hope to win as internal customers, and evolution to add capabilities based on their feedback together with your requirements as the IT infrastructure owners.

Time-to-engagement is the key metric for private cloud, since the flow of workloads is dependent on devops confidence in the new infrastructure. The sooner you engage your application developers and operations teams, the sooner you will start growing your private cloud capacity.

Cloud architecture design and consulting

Canonical experts work with your architects to establish your private cloud requirements and define the optimal architecture for your initial business workloads.

We advise on hardware selection and map out potential enterprise integrations for your OpenStack cloud such as storage and identity.

Ops dashboards and monitoring included

Logging and monitoring complex distributed systems is an art form! Canonical’s operations teams run hundreds of infrastructure subsystems and clouds, and have converged on a world-class open source monitoring stack.

24x7 support or outsourced operations

Our support plans have you covered so your cloud receives updates, and an SLA for issues that arise during operations.

We also offer on-demand upgrades to newer versions of OpenStack if you want us to take care of it, and full remote operations and cloud management if you’d rather stay focused on your business workloads exclusively.
